About

Carol Trindade is a Brazilian-born performance artist whose work blends Butoh, clowning, and physical theater into evocative and somatic driven work. Emerging from Curitiba, Carol’s journey began performing as a clown from a young age living in a favela.

Carol studied technical theater at Estadual do Paraná college and contemporary dance at Casa Hoffman. She later, co-founded ArcologyZero, an experimental arts organization in Brazil that combines housing, studio space, and artist residencies for emerging creatives.

Drawing from Butoh, Contemporary Dance, and her lived experiences, Carol creates pieces that are both poetic and spiritual—often improvisational, always deeply embodied. Her work has been seen across the U.S., Europe and South America. Whether performing in public spaces or digital formats, Carol continues to explore themes of identity, control, memory, and resilience through the language of the body.
